Mosquito Trap

[yougivemebaby]

Funny story. My friend said that you can't buy yeast in Thailand. It is illegal. I said no way you can buy huge amounts at Makro. She didn't believe me. SHe said people make illegal hootch therefore yeast is illegal. Isn't that bizarre? I bought a huge packet from makro for 120 baht and she was very surprised. She contacted her ma and pa and told them this crazy farang bought yeast!

Has anyone built one of these traps and had it be successful? Seems everyone that has tried it hasn't had good results.

I am about to move into a new house and the yard is an absolute mosquito festival. I assume this is because the house is a couple blocks from the canal road.

I already tried the water garden/guppies (fish) thing. No help.

This looks like a perfect trap for FRUIT FLYS but not at all for mosquitos. While fruit flys cannot resist the sugar and yeast ... and can smell them from very large distances ... mosquitos are attracted to the smell of warm blooded animals and are not at all interested in sugar and yeast.

mosquitoes are drawn to carbon dioxide from breathing mammals.

the sugar and yeast creates that.

Ummm... That mixture produces carbon dioxide, which is what attracts the mossies. What did you think it was about the "smell of warm blooded animals" that attracted them?

Most of the articles I've read on the subject recently, indicate that carbon dioxide is only part of the equation. 

 

Here's an extract from one such article with a link to the full article below it.

Mosquitoes are stimulated by a number of factors when seeking out a blood meal. Initially, they’re attracted by the carbon dioxide we exhale. Body heat is probably important too, but once the mosquito gets closer, she will respond to the smell of a potential blood source’s skin.

I find my electric tennis racket better.........I .just love to hear them crackle and burn,its so satisfying......and the big ones that get stuck, burn and smoulder and really smell like dead bodies.

option 2, the small electric blue light lamp, clears any stray annoying mossies from the bedroom. great to see them stuck and limb-less in the morning.

option 3 good old traditional spray, though not good in confined spaces, can get in your throat and not good.

option 4 the smoking coils, absolute crap, do they really work, I doubt it.

option 5; I have a couple of frogs and several small jingjoks, frogs good outside and the lizards good for indoors, but as i found out the other night, the spray that kills mossies and cockroaches also kills the lizards....unless they were poisoned after eating dead mossies.

option 6 make sure you have plenty of garlic and spicy food in your diet, mossies keep away from burning pheromones.

As i read this  .. i can actually hear the pleasure in your voice and had to laugh out loud   .. thanks

I have waited 6 years for someone to appreciate it. It was worth the effort commenting
